Synopsis

Elisabeth adores painting vibrant pictures, just like her papa. But when she starts school, everything is grey—buildings, uniforms, rooms. She misses the colours of home. One winter morning, devastating news darkens her world further. Can Elisabeth rediscover joy and bring colour back into her life? Inspired by the childhood of French portrait artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, this touching tale explores friendship, family, and finding happiness in the darkest times.
